Product Overview
Roll A Story turns storytelling into a game anyone can jump into. Each player rolls a set of illustrated dice, then groups together the pictures that seem to go together to build a spontaneous, one-of-a-kind story. With categories like people, animals, food, places, transport, feelings, weather, actions, sports, and objects, no two rolls lead to the same tale, so kids can play again and again without repeating themselves.
- Includes 10 picture dice covering categories like people, animals, feelings, and weather, plus a carry sack for easy storage
- Simple play pattern: roll the dice, group the related images, then pick which ones kick off the story
- Builds storytelling and oral language skills as kids narrate what they see
- Great for group play since everyone can roll, group dice, and take turns building the story together
- Made for ages 4-9, Grades K-4
